The VII edition of the National Scientific Event “For Gender Equity” is being held in the municipality of Urbano Noris, in Holguín province, from May 15 to 18, with the central theme “Cuban women in the plan for the advancement of women. An intersectoral approach”.
The theoretical event of national character will be developed online through the social network Telegram, while the program includes lectures, workshops and cultural activities that take as a stage the main cultural institutions of the municipality as well as educational and labor centers.
Topics such as gender equity and dialogue on violence will be addressed, and the day against homophobia, a manifestation of violence in a society where there are debts with gender expression, will be celebrated.
The analysis of the representation of women in the literature of Holguín will have its space with the course La imagen femenina en la narrativa de Rubén Rodríguez González, to be given by M.Sc. Nubia Artigas Almarales.
Bernabé Ramírez, director of the Municipal Cinema Center, tells us that in the afternoons the René Ramos Latour cinema will keep a program of films and documentaries on gender issues.
Meanwhile, the community project Casa Taller will present different documentaries made by them that promote gender equity and highlight the role of girls and boys.
Gender equality, also known as sexual equality or equality of the sexes, is the state of equal ease of access to resources and opportunities regardless of gender, including economic participation and decision-making; and the state of valuing different behaviors, aspirations and needs equally, regardless of gender.
Gender equality is the goal, while gender neutrality and gender equity are practices and ways of thinking that help in achieving the goal.
Gender parity, which is used to measure gender balance in a given situation, can aid in achieving gender equality but is not the goal in and of itself.
Gender equality is more than just equal representation, it is strongly tied to women’s rights, and often requires policy changes.
As of 2017, the global movement[which?] for gender equality has not incorporated the proposition of genders besides women and men, or gender identities outside of the gender binary. (taken from wikipedia)
